seeder Posted March 17, 2017 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Quote Mysterious pyramid-shaped tomb discovered under Chinese construction site Experts believe chamber could be burial site thousands-of-years old A mysterious pyramid-shaped tomb has been uncovered by archaeologists under a construction site in China. The structure was discovered in a chamber alongside a similar cylinder-shaped coffin in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Experts believe the chamber is a burial site, and could hail from the Han Dynasty (202 BC – 220 AD), China’s so-called “golden age”. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/pyramid-tomb-mysterious-china-construction-site-archaeologist-zhengzhou-henan-province-han-dynasty-a7633821.html 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PersonFromPorlock Posted March 21, 2017 #6 Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) Time to quote Will Cuppy again: Quote The fact is that building a pyramid is fairly easy, aside from the lifting. You just pile up stones in receding layers, placing one layer carefully upon another, and pretty soon you have a pyramid. You can't help it. In other words, it is not in the nature of a pyramid to fall down… Edited March 21, 2017 by PersonFromPorlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinias Ray Posted March 22, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) wow this is amazing. Most of the Pyramid-like shape tombs discovered throughout the ancient sites are similar to the tombs of early pharaoh's.

Is pretty cool but to be honest I expected to see an imposing pyramid structure not the little grave covering that it is. It's a bit deceiving. The title that is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted March 22, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Got to appreciate a little of what Zhengzhou, Henan Province means in the scheme of all things time and China ... ~ Quote The history of Zhengzhou, a city that is today the provincial capital of Henan Province, China. spans over 10,000 years from its beginnings as a Neolithic settlement to its emergence as a trading port during the final years of the Qing Dynasty. wiki link 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pallidin Posted March 22, 2017 #13 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Great find! Although small, it seems to have required more than a nominal degree of labor, maybe indicating some significance. Perhaps a local leader and family/servants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The structural support's the key, correct? The bigger the pyramid the harder it should be correct? Seeing the link appears to be gone can someone report it or was it removed?

Myles Posted March 22, 2017 #15 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Pretty cool. I think it should do more to emphasize that the pyramid shape is a basic shape than it should in lending credibility to those who say that pyramid shapes all over the Earth proves ancient interaction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted March 25, 2017 #18 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I think the arched tomb is more impressive honestly. The pyramid is just stacked blocks, but the arched tomb would have required a lot more thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure I was one of those kids—roughly a thousand years ago—who was taught the Romans "invented" the arch in architecture. Are school kids still taught that anywhere? The Egyptians were building arches long before the Romans even existed, as were others. It's a particularly graceful form. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check out the second link to another story that was posted by Stiff, you'll see this picture: Look at the opening in the cylinder. I'd bet that this pyramid was built the same way. In other words, not stacked horizontal blocks. Harte 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted March 28, 2017 #23 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Just a note : An arch constructed and an arch cut/corbel out from the walls are two entirely different constructs ... A brief history walk through of the Arch Quote An arch is a curved structure that spans a space and may or may not support weight above it.[1] Arch may be synonymous with vault, but a vault may be distinguished as a continuous arch[2] forming a roof. Arches appeared as early as the 2nd millennium BC in Mesopotamian brick architecture,[3] and their systematic use started with the Ancient Romans who were the first to apply the technique to a wide range of structures. wiki link ~ Quote A corbel arch (or corbeled / corbelled arch) is an arch-like construction method that uses the architectural technique of corbeling to span a space or void in a structure, such as an entranceway in a wall or as the span of a bridge. A corbel vault uses this technique to support the superstructure of a building's roof. wiki link ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
